Speaking at Trinity Chambers’ 2025 Housing Law Conference, specialist Housing and Property Law barrister, Vilma Vodanovic delivered a talk entitled:
'This Month’s Rent'- Renters’ Rights Bill Part I – Transforming the Private Rented Sector
The Renters’ Rights Bill is the most significant reform within the private rented sector since the Housing Act 1988. The tenancy reform it seeks to introduce will have far-reaching consequences for both tenants and landlords.
Along with that tenancy reform, there is a whole host of other provisions within the Bill seeking to regulate and oversee the private rented sector. Some private landlords may feel these provisions are extremely onerous. If they’re not deemed onerous, they are certainly extensive.
Vilma’s recorded talk deals with those provisions other than tenancy reform. The topics covered in Vilma’s session include:
- Definition of ‘Residential Landlord’, ‘Relevant Tenancy’ & ‘Dwelling’
- Landlord Redress Scheme
- Private Rented Sector Database
- Offences
- Extension of Rent Repayment Orders
- Decent Homes Standard
- Superior Landlords
- Extension of HMO
- Service of Improvement Notices on Superior Landlords
- Schemes for Imposition of Civil Financial Penalties
- New Duties of Enforcement on Local Authorities
- Investigatory Powers
